Given that the system is heavily skewed toward incumbency, your comment is a bit disingenuous. We both know that the DNC intended Biden to run. He had the advantage of thier coffers, thier PR machine, and the support of their leadership. Implying that the playing field was at all fair ignores reality.
I do agree, though, that Biden's many faults are his own. His most recent failure, support for ethnic cleansing and denial of aid to refugees, should have made him unelectable by the party that claims to be pro-human rights... but here we are, with him as the best of two terrible candidates.
I've played through a few times. Before you leave Act I, there is an explicit warning that doing so will close out story-based quests that are incomplete. Having said that, it only closes out the main story quests for the most part; I've gone back to do side quests frequently. Act I doesn't truly lock until you've unlocked the end of Act II.
That seems consistent with actual tabletop D&D; ignoring a time sensitive quest may net negative results.
Biden is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He hand wrings over refugees while cutting 350 million in aid to relief efforts. He pretends to seek a ceasefire while providing monetary and equipment to a campaign of ethnic cleansing.
That he is the "best" likely choice in the next US election is utterly embarrassing.
Back in the paper spam days, some folk would stuff the "postage paid" envelopes with junk and mail them back to troll the companies. Setting up a junk address with an autoresponder would be pleasing, but probably would get tagged illegal.
Realistically is more or less encoded "without ending the collusion between Democrats and Republicans." As it stands, the system is designed to reinforce their duopolistic control... and their followers, more concerned with winning than with fundamental human rights, allow it to continue.
Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.
I've made the "promotion later" mistake once. I was as new at what I do as he was; taught me not to trust corps to do the right thing if it isn't in writing and even then, not.
You know, aside from there being litttle merit to their claims and all. Israel is about as trustworthy as North Korea when it comes to their systematic ethnic cleansing.
But let's assume they were telling the truth, as genocidal ethnic cleansing monsters are prone to doing.
13 employees of 30,000 were accused of aiding HAMAS. That's 13 / 30000, or 0.0043% of the employees. Do tell me how that's sufficient justification to bar aid for millions.
Hint: It isn't, unless you are using it as a pretext.
You know what else is over the top, you evil old fuck? Cutting off 350 million in aid to refugees because Israel lied and claimed relief workers were HAMAS.
Biden is banking on his sycophants taking him at his utterly worthless word.
That healthcare bit hit home. Been trying to get treatment for 9 months. Docs spent a lot of my money doing nothing. I got tired of trusting, read peer journals, put together my own plan using promising options, have the first actual sustained relief I've seen since last May.
$100 OTC versus like $6000 in tests, scans, and fuckery.
I guess it beats the NHS, partner can't even get seen for a fractured vertebrae. "Do PT first."
And those prices do not go below the cost to run those properties, which has gone up significantly. But of course, it's easy to ignore the millions of people struggling if your goal is to put a shine on a rich politician with no real insight into thier struggles.
Bisexual is defined as attraction to more than one gender, where gender is a component of the attraction. So if you 96% like one gender, 3% another, and 1% yet another, that's bi. If you're 60/40, that's bi too. Bi = multiple genders where gender plays a factor. It has never meant only 50/50.
Pansexual is attraction to people where gender doesn't play a role. Pansexuals' patterns may look like a bisexual's patterns because they date across genders, but the attraction matrix is different.
Finsexual (Gynesexual) is attracted to feminine traits generally. Whether penis or vagina, it is the femininity they like. I can speak to this as this is me. I like feminity, not necessarily women particularly. I use bisexual as shorthand because most people "get" that.
